We have just been sweltering il the
intensified heat. Chicago and other
places have been complaining Of the
heat at 90 and go Fahrenhcit,w when we
have been regaling ourselves in an at
| mosphere with the mercury registering
lO4o-1Ojo, and no >unstroke.
The reports coming in this morning
show that the rains yesterday were gen
cral. in some places the lands are bad
ly washed. Strong winds and electric
disturbances accompanied the rains,
though we have heard OF no serious
damage.
G. B. Cromer, Esq, of Newberry: de-
livered most excellent address before
the Y. N. C. A. at this place, on Sunday
night in Grace Church. The address
throughout was replete in profound
thought, and notwithstanding the in-
tense heat the audience was good, and
all expressed themselves as highly
pleased.
In speaking of the cost OF the new
depot here, last week, the printer made
us say it cost about ST. 3,000-a slight dis
crepancy of S60,0O). Be careful typo, "
improve yourself in mathematics. In
the issue before, you put our turtle bad
ly out of shape by measuring him 81
inches in length when we had only
measured for 25 inches. The readers Of
the HERALD AND News do not accuse us
of lying straight out, but they do accuse
us of handling the truth rather indiffcr-
emily. However, we are calm ard Sc
rene.
Yesterday evening we were relieved
from the oppressive heat by q glorious
rain. The mercury fell about 30 de-
grees, and oh how good we feel All
nature seems to smile with gratitude to
the Great Giver OF these glorious rains,
and vet some men do not render thanks
to God for these blessings, but rlther
look upon it simply as God diScharging
a duty which He owes man, and they
seem to think that He is under oblisa-
tious to man to send the ''carly AMI lat
ter rains,'' and that if lie does not send
these timely rains that He is not filling
His share of the contract. How per-
verse and ungrateful is man.
We are under obligations to DR. j. W..
Folk, of Annandale, for box OF very
large turtle eggs. The DR.. did not send
us recipe for preparing these eggs,
hence they were & sort Of an elephant
on or hands. We tried boiling them in
fresh water, and then remembering that
these turtles are saltwater amphiblans,
we tried boiling the eggs in salt water,
hut with the same result. The yolk
would boil "done," but the white seems
perfectly impervious to heat. We tried
frying these ':cooter" eggs, but in this
we signally failed-the blasted things
wouldn't fry worth q cent. We Still!
persevered and experimental with the
scooter aigs," and our next attempt was
at an omelet-a scooter aig'' omelet
In this we succeeded right well, and in
this manner we disposed Of the ''coote!
aigs.'' much to the amusement Of the
madame and the children. Remember
| that all these efforts were made in {
stove room, when the thermometer reg
| istered 1919 in the cool shade. We pity
our poor wives and sisters and daughter:
who have to do the cooking all through
this sweltering weather. We men ought
to have them cook less and help them
more. Thanks, Dr., for the ''coote7
aigs," but we would prefer the cooter'
''heset." Next time you send out yonl
medicines, Dr., send the directions along
YUBE.
